The Director of Stratasys, Ilan Levi summed up the importance of the opening of the building at Kiryat Gat:
“The opening of the facility marks an important milestone for Stratasys as part of our commitment to manufacturing high quality 3D printers and materials. The new facility will enable us to respond to increasing demand, will improve the quality of production, and will improve the working environment and conditions of the production team.”
“If you want to understand how to create an economy, look here. Stratasys has built a facility with the latest 3D printing technology, contributing to the circle of employment. Kiryat Gat forms the microcosm of our economic activities creating the engine of growth. Many of the people working in the facility are from the area. This creates a cycle. Jobs generate growth which in turn, increase the standard of living. A factory, like the one inaugurated here today, which exports more than 99% of its products, is a major engine of growth for this region.”
The new building in Kiryat Gat will add to Stratasys’ resin consumables production capabilities as the existing facility, established in 2009, is the primary location for the manufacturing and assembly of PolyJet 3D printers.
